💬 Stereotypes, stories, and... a ball of string? 🧶
Last week, we had an insightful discussion about gender stereotypes and their impact on healthcare and social services during the Open Care workshop.
We broke the ice with a simple game: we passed a ball of string around, each saying a word that started with the first letter of our name—then we went in reverse, trying to remember our colleagues’ words. Connection, energy, and memory put to work!
A short video and discussion cards helped us explore topics rarely addressed in everyday life, participants reflecting on their own biases and discovering new ways to overcome them.
The workshop is part of the OpenCARE project, implemented by EASI and co-funded by the European Union through the CERV program—Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values. 🌍
Thank you to Centrul de Zi Alzheimer Sector 1, București for your openness and for hosting the event!
